Wasting energy arguing apples and oranges while in the meantime the only pride left at the General is Union pride which is the heartbeat of that company now. Each to his own but I'll never buy a new GM/UAW automobile. They suck.

If you're really gonna bring back the GN nameplate, it seems it would have to be the same as it was in the 80's: during a lame performance market. A company took the chance and did something extremely different for the time period. The technology today is so overwhelming the opportunity  isn't there. All efforts are gonna be nostalgic only. So, if you are gonna do it, retro the original body, glue GN on it,  Direct Inject it and give it the most advanced turbo V6 it can handle. With ECM advancements that have been made I can't help but think they could build another monster. The downfall is, today is not really another lame performance market.
